  1. Here's the big problem. To be a winner you have to be a bad loser and get mad when you lose. You wouldn't have seen Doug Gilmour being alright with losing, … especially the way this team has been losing lately.
    It would be stupid to be buyers if they're keeping this coach much longer because they're headed for missing the payoffs under Keefe.

  2. GET. RID. OF TRELIVING. Absolute WORST move in leafs history behind JFJ. Get this useless idjit outta town, before we waste matthews & co. Prime

  3. I say they need to EXTEND tavares contract to a team friendly hometown discount contract of 7 years 11 million per year!!! BOOK IT!!!

  4. The Leafs need a D-man and an upgrade on the left side. If Woll becomes healthy we are sharp in the crease with Samsonov you still have the goalie that won a round for the Leafs and beat Vasilevskiy. Good luck Toronto the nation stands proud with your best effort. 🏁

  5. It's simple: They need a goalie capable of stealing a playoff series. If they can get one of those, great! then buy. Otherwise they're not going to come anywhere close to winning the Cup…AGAIN, so hold. There's no need to sell

  6. I am in a big sell mood. They haven't shown that deserve to be doing any kind buying. Holding is a no mans land option as well. Changing coach will make no difference at all.

  7. Hold! No sense in trading prospects and picks this year,they’re not a playoff team! Thanks to Dubas the cupboards are bare!

  8. They have a bad apple in the team trade him .
    Second, they need to learn to play defense .
    Get a really good golie
    I'm sure someone on the team is the bad apple opening his mouth .
    Construction is the same you have when you have a bad apple you need to get rid of that guy

  9. When i make a mistake my owner talks to me about it .
    Make the mistake again he screams at me
    Do it again im fired .
    Leafs make a mistake meaning the top 4 nothing happens so who has the team by there hand not the couch but the players
    Big problem

  10. Look at this,they need a DEAL. TODAY and they're looking at trade deadline Why did they bring in a new GM. ,done nothing pack your bags, your just a distraction, Shanahan you need to go,listen to whats being said, they're WRITING OFF THE YEAR ,spent all that salary on your FAB,4 WHAT A. JOKE. , you giving up im no longer watching,

  11. Let's face it. There simply aren't any trades out there that will make this team a legitimate Cup contender. Florida would decimate us. NYR/BOS would too. Why keep mortgaging the future for diminishing returns?

    The window is closed. Let them struggle and learn that playoffs are not a right in this league, and come back next summer when JT's contract is off the books. If Marner is serious about winning he'll take a discount by then. If not, then he clearly doesn't have the right mentality so no big loss.

    Brodie + Bertuzzi (with some salary retained) for a 1st??? Or ANY draft picks we can get back???

  12. Where is John Tavarez when Mitch Marner blames the fans and media for the team playing 10 minute games? I've watched every game this year, which required a lot of effort on my part. Fans pay hundreds of dollars to go the game after battling traffic or the subway. This team needs a new Captain and to ditch Marner. John is tough, has a lot of class, and plays hard, but this specific team needs a guy who can hold people accountable. Sid to Toronto for Marner straight up.

  13. TSN yesterday: "There's no point in making decisions yet, we'll have to see how the full road trip goes"
    TSN today: BUY, SELL, OR HOLD?!!?!?

  14. Imagine if they didnt have Martin jones ..him and morgan have played well balanced withe the rest of the circus doing monkey stuff😂

  15. Leafs will miss playoffs UNLESS they fire Keefe and bring in a hardline coach who doesn’t take nonsense

  16. Doesn’t matter what they do. With their top 4 or 5 and what they’re paid…and not so old contracts…they’re screwed because this is where the problem is. There is not a hope in hell of shoring up the D or a tough forward that can play or a more reliable goalie. The top 2 forward lines of pansies. What a joke to think that Ryan reeves can fix that!

  17. As long as the guy can give great tips about how to play the sand traps at angus glen in april he'll fit in just fine.

  18. You can teach a team HOW to win, but you cannot teach a team to WANT to win. If the WANT is there enough, the HOW will reveal itself.

  19. Button has horrible takes. All of Treliving’s trades last year were awful. Reaves, Klingberg, Samsonov and even Willys cooled down after his new deal.
